主再來的先兆

弟兄姊妹,關於主耶穌基督再來和我們到祂那裡相聚的事情, 我們現在奉勸你們:無論是什麼靈,或是傳聞,或是冒充我們寫的信,說主的日子已經到了,你們都不要輕易動搖,也不要驚慌。 不管別人用什麼詭計,你們都不要上當。因為那日子來臨之前,必有離經叛道的事發生,而那不法之徒,就是那註定滅亡的人也要出現。 他會抵擋主,高抬自己超過一切所謂的神明和人們崇拜的對象,甚至坐在上帝的殿中以上帝自居!

我還在你們那裡的時候,曾告訴過你們這些事,你們忘記了嗎? 現在,你們知道是什麼攔阻他,使他等到特定的時間才出現。 其實那不法之徒的陰謀已經在醞釀中,然而現在有一位在攔阻他。等到攔阻他的那位一離開, 他就會出現,但主耶穌會用自己口中的氣毀滅他,用從天降臨的榮光廢掉他。

他來要按照撒旦的伎倆行各樣虛假的異能、神蹟和奇事, 10 用盡各樣詭計欺騙那些將要滅亡的人,因為他們不喜歡接受那能拯救他們的真理。 11 上帝就讓他們是非不辨,去相信那些虛假的謊言, 12 使一切不相信真理、反喜愛不義的人都被定罪。

要堅定不移

13 主所愛的弟兄姊妹,我們應該時常為你們感謝上帝,因為上帝一開始就揀選了你們,為了使你們藉著聖靈得以聖潔,並且相信真理,從而得救。 14 上帝藉著我們所傳的福音呼召了你們,使你們可以得到我們主耶穌基督的榮耀。 15 所以,各位弟兄姊妹,務要堅定不移,無論是我們信上的教導還是口頭的教導,你們都要堅守。

16 願主耶穌基督和愛我們、開恩將永遠的安慰和美好的盼望賜給我們的父上帝, 17 安慰你們的心,使你們在一切善行善言上剛強。
